I have to agree with you there that actually looks fantastic! =D> Surely even the McLaren folk will not disagree!

Wow, that looks so cool. =D>
I'd love to see that as a McLaren livery. [-o<
It think it would be extremely difficult & time consuming to duplicate manually by painter.

The Honda engine wasn't at full power Hamilton fanboy.

Hamilton was 1.6s slower than Alonso, meaning he wasn't pushing at all, but he still had a speedtrap of only 2kmh lower than Alonso's.
Finally, everyone knows that Red Bull is a joke and Max Verstappen is overrated.

This reminds me a moder created a custom paint job for the 2015 cat in F1 2015 the game. And I really love it. It's just like some red smoke casually covered the majority of the car. =D>

Thanks giantfan.
So am I correct to assume that Rosberg & Hamilton have done laps on the red & purple tires, but their lap times on them were not fast enough to crack the top 10? Why? Were they sandbagging?

As far as I remember they haven't run at all on the super-s or ultra-s.

BBW? Clearly not the BBW I'm thinking of as there are no women on any variety on the car....
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️
